Unite Warriors Defensor

BBTS has it up for preorder - $160 for it. A good place holder, but I don't think I'm going with them to get it

I only want Groove...

I think that Defensor will be my only incomplete (G1 accurate) combiner. I guess I will have to live with the legends Groove and deluxe Rook.

[Zommael]

The thing that's bugging me about this, thinking about it, is that it would suit me to get Groove individually. I have a bit of an aversion to redecoes and even remoulds that aren't particularly extensive, and if I could somehow get deluxe Groove on his own then I could create a Defensor that didn't include Blades (as I already have Alpha Bravo). Of course that leaves all sorts of problems with Legends Groove, but I guess I could leave him out or just get whatever redeco he comes as.

Oh well. I don't have to make a decision until I see them in person anyway, whether at Aus retail or overseas later in the year.

Does anyone know if they said a similar thing about Wildrider and Slingshot before Hasbro announced their own versions?

they did release info on their combiner sets prior to Hasbro releasing news on Wildrider and Slingshot but Takara never had any text saying this was an exclusive not to be available elsewhere, I still wouldn't be surprised if this turned up on a lot of Japanese retailer sites.

Haven't been following this properly, but is the new mould of groove officially only available in the Takara box set of defensor?

for the time being, yes.

Nippon-Yasan has just posted up their Defensor pre order for 17,200¥. That seems nuts compared to the 10,620¥ they charged for Menasor and Superion! HLJ doesn't have theirs up yet. I can only assume that because this is a TakaraTomy Mall Exclusive the price is going to be higher everywhere.

Just a note, Premium Collectables has Defensor for pre-order at $169.95. I went with them just in case HLJ doesn't offer it. It's a pretty good price I think.

I sent HLJ a message about Defensor, and they replied with:

Thank you for writing. We are afraid we do not have any info about the UW-03 Guardian. If it will be available for us, we will be carrying it for sure. Your understanding is appreciated.

Magic word "exclusive" that and it has a new groove so it's a double whammy on the wallet
